The eight-and-a-half hours that she had already spent on court during the first week seemed to take it's toll on Maria Sharapova as she took on Dominika Cibulkova. Despite this she took the first set 6-3

Cibulkova raced to a 5-1 lead in the deciding set and then Sharapova served three double faults in the seventh game to hand Cibulkova match point. Sharapova survived that one, only to shove a regulation forehand into the tramlines then hit long and the No3 seed was out
